The Security Committee of Yemen’s Hodeidah province has welcomed the departure of several local recruits from Saudi enemy-backed mobilization forces, while reaffirming a high level of preparedness to confront hostile military movements and schemes.

At a meeting chaired by Hodeidah Governor Abdullah Ateifi, the committee stressed the importance of continued popular support for the Armed Forces and called for vigilance, cooperation with security agencies, and maintaining internal cohesion.
 
The committee praised residents for cooperating with security authorities in monitoring and thwarting Saudi enemy schemes, particularly amid military mobilization on the fronts of Hays and al-Khokha. It said attempts had been made to recruit residents of Tihama and push them into fighting people from their own areas.
 
The committee welcomed the decision by several recruits from Hodeidah who had joined Saudi enemy-backed forces in Hays and al-Khokha to withdraw and distance themselves from the mobilization, describing the move as a responsible stance that undermines efforts to use them in carrying out hostile plans.
 
It called on remaining recruits to leave the Saudi enemy-backed ranks through the designated mechanism and refrain from taking part in fighting fellow Yemenis.
 
The committee also praised residents of Hays and al-Khokha for rejecting the mobilization of Saudi enemy-backed forces and the deployment of extremist elements and mercenaries from southern provinces, stressing that such moves are linked to plans to loot and destroy civilians’ homes and property.
 
The statement comes amid renewed Saudi-backed military mobilization in Yemen, as tensions remain high along front lines in Hodeidah and other areas. Yemeni authorities have repeatedly called on fighters aligned with Saudi-backed forces to return to their communities, warning that continued recruitment and escalation could fuel further bloodshed and deepen the humanitarian and social costs of the conflict.     
 
In recent weeks, Saudi Arabia intensified military mobilizations across Marib, Al-Jawf, and the Red Sea coast, backed by loyalist factions, to launch a major offensive against Sana'a. Simultaneously, Riyadh ramped up recruitment campaigns in Hadramout—drawing local resistance, rejecting involvement in foreign-led conflicts.
